Metabolic brain imaging for rectal cancer prognosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how brain metabolism changes in people with rectal cancer and whether those changes can help predict outcomes. It uses a special type of PET imaging to look at brain activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with rectal cancer.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You can be male or female.

This trial uses advanced MRI scans to see how well rectal cancer is responding to radiotherapy. It may help doctors better understand which treatments work best for patients with more advanced disease.
This trial uses a special MRI scan that shows how “metabolism” (how cells use fuel) differs in brain tumors. It may help researchers better understand tumor biology and how tumors may respond to treatment, without using chemotherapy or radiation as part of the study.
This study looks at whether a special scan called PET-MRI can better show how rectal cancer responds to treatment given before surgery. If it works well, it could help doctors plan the right next steps after chemoradiotherapy.
This trial uses a special type of MRI scan (called amide proton transfer-weighted imaging) to look at your rectal cancer before and after chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to see if the scan can predict whether the cancer has completely disappeared by the time of surgery, which could help guide future treatment decisions.
This study uses a special scan called PET/MRI to see how well treatment works for locally advanced rectal cancer before surgery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for you.
This study is testing a special PET/MRI scan to see if it can better guide treatment for stage 2 or 3 rectal cancer. You may qualify if you have locally advanced rectal cancer and are planning to get chemo and radiation before surgery.
